Almo Nature lands in Canada

The launch of products for the Canadian market is
scheduled for March 2008

After expanding to Switzerland, Germany, France and the UK,
the Italian petfood manufacturer Almo Nature lands in the North
American market, with a new branch in Quebec, Canada. The company
foresees that this new opening will bring its 2008 turnover to 50
million Euro, with an export share of 40%. After Italy (the
country of origin for the company), Almo Nature's first market is
Germany which represents 70% of the European turnover, followed
by Switzerland, France, UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and
Scandinavia. "The choice of Canada as our first overseas market
depended on the relationships we had in the country which allowed
us to create a dedicated logistic and commercial structure," Pier
Giovanni Capellino, CEO and president of Almo Nature, said. The
launch of products for the Canadian market is scheduled for March
2008.
